The video does not encompass the complete context of all recordings captured by all of the body worn cameras

On Nov. 13, 2024, the Clark County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) was involved in a deputy-involved shooting. Multiple deputies were on the scene at the time of the incident. Four deputies were placed on Critical Incident Leave. One deputy discharged his firearm. Three deputies witnessed the incident.

Following a deputy-involved shooting, the CCSO, at the discretion of the Sheriff, will release body-worn camera (BWC) videos of the incident. The release of these videos will be separate from the Independent Investigation Team’s (IIT) investigation.

The Southwest Washington Independent Investigative Response Team (SWIIRT), led by the Washington State Patrol, is conducting an independent investigation of this incident. The Clark County Sheriff’s Office is not involved in the deputy-involved shooting investigation. CCSO will conduct its administrative investigation/review after the SWIIRT investigation is completed. 

The Critical Incident Video can be viewed on the CCSO Body-Worn Camera Page at https://clark.wa.gov/sheriff/body-worn-camera-bwc-program.

The Sheriff’s Office cannot comment on the video release or the ongoing investigation. The video’s release is meant to provide visual context of the incident, as CCSO understands it to have occurred, according to the BWC video. The video does not encompass the complete context of all recordings captured by all of the body worn cameras.

Please be aware that the video contains graphic imagery and viewer discretion is strongly advised.
